<p>"The new LG gram PCs have been designed for those users who want an all-round, high performance notebook with maximum portability," said <span class="xn-person">Tim Alessi</span>, head of product marketing at LG Electronics <span class="xn-location">USA</span>. "The 2018 gram series ticks all the boxes for users who want versatile and lightweight notebooks with faster processing capabilities."</p>

<p>The new LG gram models continue to be the most easy-to-carry notebooks available on the market today.<sup>1</sup> The ultra-thin bodies feature a highly efficient 72Wh battery that allows longer use without plugging in, lasting up to almost a full day on a single charge.<sup>2</sup> The compact design enables the LG gram's smaller form factor to feature a wider screen. The 14-inch model (14Z980) is the same size as a conventional 13-inch notebook but still offers a wider display with a minimized bezel.</p>

<p>Equipped with the latest 8<sup>th </sup>Intel<sup>&reg;</sup> Core<span>&trade;</span> i7 and i5 processors and SSD storage, the newest LG gram devices are more efficient than their predecessors and significantly faster. Unlike other compact notebooks that achieve lower weight or smaller size by minimizing interior space, LG's gram series offers a second SSD drive slot for even more internal storage for those large video files.</p>

<p>LG's new gram models are durable enough to use in the extreme environments, passing seven stringent U.S. military MIL-STD 810G durability tests for resistance to impact, pressure and temperature. This improved durability is achieved by the Nano Carbon Magnesium full metal alloy body, often used in the aerospace industry where high strength and light weight are required.</p>

<p>Designed with a host of convenience-enhancing features, users can work late into the night with the backlit keyboard, which also serves as delicate ambient lighting while highlighting the PC's minimalist profile. And with DTS Headphone:X technology built-in, users can enjoy multi-channel sound of up to 11.1 channels and rich 1.5W hi-fi surround sound.</p>

<p>The 2018 gram notebooks feature LG's advanced optional features such as Touch Screen, Fingerprint Reader and Thunderbolt<span>&trade;</span> 3. With LG's new IPS In-cell Touch technology, the gram maintains its compact size while the enhanced touch screen allows for more delicate, accurate onscreen haptic control without color shift when touching the display. The Fingerprint Reader enables users to log in and power on at the same time with the press of a single button. What's more, Thunderbolt<span>&trade;</span> 3 allows for compatibility with Mac products, supports data transfer up to eight times faster than USB Type-C and enables seamless transmission of <span class="xn-money">4K</span>/<span class="xn-money">5K</span> content to exterior displays.</p>

<p>The new LG gram notebooks will be available in the U.S. market starting in January with other markets to follow soon after. CES 2018 visitors are encouraged to check out LG gram notebooks at the LG Booth in the <span class="xn-location">Las Vegas</span> Convention Center (Booth #11100, Central Hall) from <span class="xn-chron">Jan. 9-12</span>.</p>

<p>
<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;<i>The 13.3- and 14-inch models (models 13Z980 and 14Z980) weigh just 2.12 and 2.19 pounds, respectively, while the largest 15.6-inch model (model 15Z950) weighs in at 1,095 grams.</i>
</p>

<p>
<sup>2</sup> <i>LG Gram notebook batteries on the 13.3-, 14- and 15.6-inch models last up to 22.5, 21.5 and 19 hours, respectively, based on 2014 </i><i>MobileMark<sup>&reg;</sup> </i><i>criteria. </i>

<span class="xn-location">LOS ANGELES</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Dec. 13, 2017</span> /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;<a href="http://www.apposite-tech.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apposite<sup>&reg;</sup> Technologies</a> today announced the release of the Netropy&reg;100G network emulator. Developed for the pre-deployment testing and validation of high-speed 100GbE networks, the 100G is capable of precisely emulating 25, 40, 50 and 100Gbps WAN links. It allows service providers and storage system manufacturers to validate how WAN impairments--such as latency, packet loss or congestion--will affect performance over all data center links prior to going to market. The 100G expands on the company's line of WAN emulation appliances that offer data center managers predictive insights to how storage clusters will operate over higher speed WAN links.</p>

<p>As network technologies continue to rapidly expand, so do the demands for faster speeds within modern storage architectures. Mission-critical enterprise applications are moving to the cloud, adopting software-defined storage models, and transitioning to high-performance systems. Data centers are now experiencing a significant increase in east-west traffic as they transmit petabytes of information over a mixture of 25/40/50/100 GbE speeds. </p>

<p>"Data centers are struggling to meet the unprecedented demands for higher bandwidth, and network latency can be a huge bottleneck that is often under-estimated," said <span class="xn-person">Neal Roche</span>, CEO of Apposite Technologies. "When data is moved to the cloud, it often needs to be replicated up to 10 times to ensure redundancy, and latency can have a huge impact on that data integrity."</p>

<p>The Netropy 100G supports all network speeds and is combined with an intuitive, web-based GUI to profile and reproduce a wide range of network conditions. Storage architects, service providers, storage manufacturers and network engineers can identify and evaluate performance issues before going live by validating application performance over any combination of 25/40/50/100Gbps network links. In addition, test networks can be created in a matter of minutes to validate architectural changes.</p>

<p>"Cloud service providers and storage systems manufacturers can cost-effectively scale their operations and broaden their revenue streams with the Netropy 100G. By identifying the source of existing performance issues, service providers can take advantage of their full data line rates and potentially avoid costly and unnecessary bandwidth acquisitions. System vendors can reduce testing times and eliminate a greater number of possible performance issues prior to reaching the customer. Both scenarios dramatically reduce business operations budgets," concluded Mr. Roche. </p>

<p>The Netropy 100G will be available in <span class="xn-chron">January 2018</span>.</p>

<p>
<b>About Apposite Technologies<br>
</b>Apposite Technologies' award-winning WAN emulation products provide IT professionals with high precision tools for benchmarking the performance of applications across wide area networks. Distinguished by industry-best ease-of-use and unmatched value, Apposite's Linktropy and Netropy appliances inform critical decisions impacting bandwidth investment, application deployment, and end-user satisfaction. Apposite's network emulation products are used by leading enterprises, network application developers, government and military organizations, and telecoms carriers around the world. </p>

<b><u>The Toughest Watch Makes Its Debut (1983)<br>
</u></b>Fondly referred to as the Father of G-SHOCK, Mr. <span class="xn-person">Kikuo Ibe</span>, built more than 200 prototypes over two years before developing the very first unbreakable watch in 1983. His creation represented the birth of the "tough watch" category, and was thus dubbed G-SHOCK to represent its ability to withstand gravitational shocks. Mr. Ibe's invention, featuring the now iconic square shape, lead the charge for the <a href="http://www.gshock.com/technology" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unbreakable toughness</a> the brand would become known for in the years to follow. At G-SHOCK's anniversary celebration last month, Mr. Ibe sported a similar timepiece, demonstrating the timelessness and everlasting toughness of G-SHOCK watches. </p>

<p>
<b><u>Development Of Key Functionality Features (1980s &ndash; 1990s) <br>
</u></b>Throughout the 1980s, G-SHOCK developers focused on introducing new features that validated the band's absolute toughness moniker. Key capabilities of low temperature resistance and mud resistance, as well as an analog movement, were all available on the market towards the end of the decade. </p>

<p>In the following years, further developments were introduced to the timepieces that remain relevant through today. Of note was ISO certified 200 meter water resistance, an energy efficient Tough Solar recharging system, which enables the watch to charge a secondary battery by sunlight or ambient light to allow for stable operation of various energy consuming functions, and the first EL Backlight, for easy readability in the dark. The brand's first temperature sensor soon led to the launch of a twin sensor, which included both a digital compass and thermometer found in many models to this day. </p>

<p>In addition, the 1990s also brought the release of the first, full-metal body, specifically designed to be slim enough to fit under a professional dress shirt, while still maintaining an elevated aesthetic with the classic protective case. </p>

<p>
<b><u>Connected Fashion With The Turn Of The Century (2000 &ndash; Today)<br>
</u></b>At the start of the century, the brand continued to push boundaries in the tough watch market, introducing its very first radio-controlled watch to receive calibration signals for the most precise timekeeping &ndash; a development that was soon featured in timepieces alongside tough solar power and metal analog introductions.</p>

<p>In 2005, the brand announced their success in developing multi-band atomic capabilities, allowing G-SHOCK timepieces to receive radio controlled time calibration signals from up to six global transmission stations worldwide via their wave ceptor technology, ensuring the most accurate timekeeping on the market. New functionality continued to follow, including an exceptionally tough structure named Triple G-Resist, which can withstand the most intense shocks, centrifugal force and vibrations. </p>

<p>Today, G-SHOCK offers a wide breadth of Smart Access and Bluetooth &reg; connected watches that span across their celebrated <a href="http://www.gshock.com/collections/master-of-g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Master of G</a>, <a href="http://www.gshock.com/collections/g-steel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">G-STEEL</a> and premier <a href="http://www.gshock.com/collections/mr-g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MR-G lines</a>, ensuring the brand is at the forefront of ultimate timekeeping and toughness within the industry. In line with the founder's guiding belief to "never, ever give up," Mr. <span class="xn-person">Kikuo Ibe</span> has overseen the development of a solid gold G-SHOCK prototype, as well as the first-ever all sapphire crystal timepiece revealed at the brand's 35<sup>th</sup> anniversary celebration last month. This latest aspirational prototype watch represents G-SHOCK's ability to continue to shock the world, by creating the toughest, most diversified watch in the world.</p>

<p>
<b>About G-SHOCK<br>
</b><i>CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of <span class="xn-location">Japan</span> and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up." </i><a href="http://www.gshock.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.gshock.com</a>

"We've simplified the conversation so that with just a few taps on their watch users can select from their connected products and services and choose from a menu of commands to quickly get something done or access information."</p>

<p>Getting going with the SimpleCommands management app is quick and easy. Consumers can download the app on an iOS device, then select from an ever-growing ecosystem of connected products and services to configure their digital life. After they link their SimpleCommands account to their smartwatch, users will find their connected items cataloged in one place for ubiquitous access. </p>

<p>Those without a smartwatch can use SimpleCommands via Apple Messages, Slack, and Google Messenger.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simplecommands/id1254162670?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SimpleCommands app</a> is available at the Apple Store for iOS devices, and is coming soon to Google Play for Android devices.

<p>
<b>An "items catalog" </b>that allows users to add connections, indexed by SimpleCommands as "items," which can then be renamed using terms relevant to the consumer. Once an item is indexed by SimpleCommands, it becomes part of the user's built-in SimpleCommands catalog and understandable across any other "listener" input platforms used, in addition to the smartwatch.&nbsp;Text commands can be sent via Apple Messages or Android Messenger, and SMS commands via Slack and Siri. Coming soon will be the ability to issue voice commands with Google Assistant.</p>

<p>Apple Watch&reg; is a registered trademark of Apple for its wrist wearable device.</p>

<p>The new kloee&reg; cloud-based platform with associated mobile app is designed to bridge the disconnect between input platforms &ndash; smart devices with voice or text capabilities &ndash; and connected items like home automation technology, digital services, data providers, and more. For manufacturers and service providers, kloee makes it possible to correctly respond to a voice or text command delivered from any platform, broadening their product's appeal. For consumers, kloee serves as a centralized command center, enabling them to more easily control their Internet of Things and access pertinent information from frequently used accounts and services from anywhere, using customized language terms. </p>

<span class="xn-location">NEW YORK</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Dec. 13, 2017</span> /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;A new form of "light energy" can give type-a workaholics and globetrotters just what they need for the holidays&mdash;an extra energy boost to burn the midnight oil on Christmas eve or arrive on that next overseas flight energized and ready to work more! </p>

<p>The result of a three-year development, testing and engineering process, AYO uses the latest developments in Chronobiology, study of the human body clock, and delivers its clinically-tested soft blue light to actively increase energy levels, improve sleep, and minimize the tired, lagging feelings that often accompany jet lag.</p>

<p>Professor <span class="xn-person">Bert van der Horst</span>, Chairman of Health and Chronobiology at Erasmus Medical Center, <span class="xn-location">Rotterdam</span>, cites the novel new product as "the first step in the personal adjustment of internal body clocks. It will help us to improve our lifestyle, remain healthy, and keep the doctor away."</p>

<p>Key to the "jet lag" solution in particular is exposure to a special, soft blue light that mimics sunlight, delivered at proper timing and intensity directed by the software. By wearing the AYO device as little as 20 minutes a day, frequent travelers can beat jet lag quickly, feeling fully refreshed no matter how many time zones their latest trip has spanned.&nbsp;Stressed or tired users experience improved energy the same way.</p>

<p>Available for holiday delivery at <a href="http://www.goayo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.goayo.com</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com</a>, the blue light system establishes a profile based on the user's sleep habits and lifestyle preferences.&nbsp; It analyzes users' sleep and lifestyle habits to provide a personalized energy-boost program, guiding the user on when to use AYO, and when to avoid light.</p>

<p>
<b>Based on Nobel Prize-winning research <br>
</b>This year's Physiology Nobel Prize recognized three American researchers' discoveries of mechanisms controlling circadian rhythm, mimicked by the AYO system. AYO engineers studied the laureates' work, along with many other Chronobiology research efforts at leading institutions including <span class="xn-org">Harvard</span>, Oxford and NASA.&nbsp; These studies, plus the experience of thousands of customers, affirm the system's help in managing humans' biological clocks, sleep cycles, and energy levels to deliver healthier, happier, more active lives. </p>

<p>Nowadays, CAN is widely deployed in various industrial applications. Operators face several challenges, as they require integrated isolation and a robust interface to withstand noisy environments. In addition, they risk communication failures through faults/shorts on the transceiver inputs, system robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD) strikes, and large ground shifts in industrial environments.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The family of high-speed transceivers integrates up to 5kV integrated galvanic isolation with fault protection and &plusmn;15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD to increase uptime in harsh and noisy environments. They operate up to the maximum high-speed CAN data rate of 1Mbps and feature &plusmn;54V fault protection on receiver inputs. Available in industry-compatible pin-outs, the transceivers are packaged in a wide-body 16-pin SOIC package with 8mm of creepage and clearance and operate over the -40-degree Celsius to +125-degree Celsius temperature range.</p>

<li>"This family of isolated transceivers provides the highest level of ESD protection for our customers," said <span class="xn-person">Jeff DeAngelis</span>, Managing Director of Business Management at Maxim Integrated. "Designers can easily upgrade their systems through integrated features that increase uptime with robust communication."</li>

<p>The rise of mobile products and platforms has fragmented user experience and measurement. This creates significant challenges for brands to accurately attribute the performance of marketing campaigns, which results in suboptimal distribution of campaign spend. Furthermore, large platforms have started to leverage in-app browsers to drive user engagement inside apps &mdash; an average mobile user will regularly engage with four or five different browsers. This creates a less-than-ideal user experience because each in-app browser requires the user to login to assume their identity, as cookies are different from browser to browser. </p>

<p>To further complicate things, the native app leverages a completely different technology for identity management. This fragmented ecosystem has rendered it impossible for brands to piece together the complete digital journey of their users, because that requires the user to log in across every browser along the way. </p>

<p>Branch solves the problem by providing an attribution engine powered by an identity graph that unifies the fragmentation across different browsers and apps. With the most advanced deep linking technology that bridges the user experience across channels and platforms, and with over 30,000 mobile apps using the platform, Branch has achieved a scale where nearly every mobile device across the globe interacts with Branch links on a monthly basis. This has allowed the company to build a deterministic identity graph that unifies fragmentation across digital silos. Today, Branch is introducing the industry's first-ever mobile attribution engine powered by this identity graph, giving unprecedented insight into the multi-stage, cross-platform customer journey, allowing brands to track and attribute the full impact of their marketing campaigns or product features. </p>

<p>"With the meteoric rise in popularity of native mobile apps, businesses have had an incredibly difficult time bridging the divide from social platforms, to mobile browsers, to native apps, from both user experience and user measurement perspectives. Branch links were created to address this pain point, offering a contextual experience as a user transitions from mobile web to app," said <span class="xn-person">Alex Austin</span>, CEO and co-founder of Branch. "Today is a historic day, <span id="spanHghlt8071">one</span> in which we leverage the scale of Branch's identity data to solve the most pressing issue facing measurement: platform fragmentation. The future of mobile attribution is here. With People-based Attribution, brands can correctly attribute direct or organic traffic back to their campaigns. We enable businesses to measure people, not cookies." </p>

<p>People-based Attribution is immediately available for all existing and new businesses. To learn more:&nbsp; </p>

<p>Branch provides the leading mobile linking platform with solutions that unify user experience and measurement across different devices, platforms, and channels. Branch powers linking for over 2.5 billion monthly users across the globe, and is a trusted solution for over 30,000 apps&mdash;including Airbnb, BuzzFeed, Pinterest, Tinder, Yelp, and many more&mdash;to grow and stay engaged with their mobile audiences.</p>
